I haven't disappeared! I have been working for most of this year on a few fun projects at home, but I have also been collaborating with other artists and homeowners as more of an assistant to their designs. It is great getting to help others ideas really come through.

Since I haven't had any substantial projects of my own to write about (though I do have some things coming down the line), I have been sharing my small projects, in-progress pieces for larger projects, and collaborations on my Instagram page under @HandmadeKatie.

The holidays are upon us, and I do have a new show that I'll be taking my crochet work to this year. The Minneapolis Mompreneurs are doing a pop-up show on Friday, Dec 1 at the Anahata Collaborative in Minneapolis from 6pm to 9pm. I encourage all who can to come and support us working moms! It's a combination of direct sale and artist event, so it's a little different than the art events I'm used to, but it should still be a fun show.

I will have my full selection of coffee sleeves including a ton of Vikings-inspired designs, and I'll be bringing back some of my crocheted animals this year. It's been a while since I was really able to dive into these, and I'm looking forward to bringing some back.
